Abstract to the Topic – Ethics in HR

Human resource management deals with manpower planning and development

related activities in an organization. Globalization has brought about the concept
of globalizing labour, trade unions have started to decline and the role of HR as
such in issues like employee policies and practices has become a debatable topic.
In fact many people are of the opinion that HR is nothing but an arm of the
stakeholders through which major strategic and policy decisions are divulged
geared towards profit making!

There can be no single opinion on ethics in HR that is convincing. Market in itself

is neither an ethical institution nor unethical and no policies and procedures alone
cannot govern and align markets to human well being. However the requirement of
such policies and procedures can also not be denied. In lieu of this HR ethics
should take care of things like discrimination (sexual, religion, age etc),
compensation, union and labour laws, whistle blowing, health and safety of the
employees etc.

Ethical disciplines, marketing ethics is also looked up from various perspectives.

There is the perspective of virtue, expediency and other perspectives. But like
other ethics there is also the difficulty of deciding the agency responsible for
ethical practice. Since there is not one single agency responsible for ethics this
gives the independence to an individual or to any marketing agency to act on its
own and be ethical.

Project file will mainly deal with all those difficulty, and practices that an
organisation fails to perfume or should perfume in the terms of Human recourse
management.
